Data Acquisition

Pipeline Management Solution

Reliable data transmission from the field forms the basis for making informed decisions in the control room. Phoenix Contact provides a large number of reliable systems for data acquisition and transmission. This is based on infrastructures that guarantee a particularly reliable transmission and on components for data encryption. The systems can be used in various ways, for example as a basis for the pipeline monitoring system. At different measuring stations, precise time stamps are added to data concerning flow rate, pressure, and temperature; then this data is transmitted to the control system. Even under harsh environmental conditions with fluctuations in temperature, the particularly robust components allow reliable data transmission over the respective distances. The transmission options, e.g. Internet connections secured via VPN tunnel and SHDSL, mobile, Radioline, and WLAN connections, are all adapted to local conditions and enable optimal data transmission.
